Özet
In this article, a 22 year-old male with disseminated tuberculosis during the course of Behcet's disease who was admitted with the complaints of fever, headache and fatigue was presented. The initial diagnosis was neuro-Behcet's syndrome. Tuberculosis during the course of rheumatic diseases are often associated with the use of TNF-alpha blockers. In our case, the patient experienced severe disseminated tuberculosis, despite being TNF-alpha blocker-naive. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of tuberculosis with such a disseminated course developed in a patient with Behcet's disease who received conventional immunosuppressive treatment.
